Imagine you are a consultant hired to restructure a company that is traditional in its structure and organization. (Use a company you can get detailed information from internet.)

Using Nadler and Tushman’s analysis and your own knowledge garnered from your readings (**) and discussions, propose a restructuring of the company that would make it more competitive.

For this week the paper will be a proposal stating the organization you are using for your project. You will need to discuss the organization in terms of the 3 Key issues mentioned in the
article.

How do these apply to the organization which you’ve chosen to discuss? The proposal also needs to include resources you will be able to use for your research. These sources may be
articles on the industry or organization, the organizations website, the organizational chart, organizational structure articles and books, etc.
